Bankruptcy

3. Effect of Discharge

The general rule is that discharge from bankruptcy releases a debtor from all his bankruptcy debts. Certain debts are excempt from this rule, including any liability to pay damages for negligence, nuisance, or breach of duty, or to pay damages under Part I of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 (product liability). The discharge does not affect the rights of any of the bankrupt's creditors to prove in the bankruptcy for any debt for which the bankrupt is released by his discharge, or to enforce their security in respect of secured debts.
